Serenity's P.O.V. 2 Years Ago
"Serenity, you're back."
I stopped in front of my father, my sword clenched in my hand as he smiled at me. He examined me, and noticed that I was covered with blood. His tongue then came out and he licked his lips, satisfied.
"How beautiful. A doll covered with her victims blood. Did you bring back what I wanted?"
"Yes, daddy." I said lowly, going to my side pouch to pull out the scroll he wanted me to retrieve. "The Forbidden Scroll from Suna." I held it out to him.
"Excellent." he grabbed it. "This is exactly why you are my favorite, my dear Serenity." he told me. "Along with Eternal, you two are nothing but my pride and joy. But I couldn't expect less from my children." he chuckled.
"Has mommy been looking for me?" I asked him.
"She asked and I told her that you were out doing me an errand." he told me. "You should go home now and rest." he told me, walking away.
I watched him walk away, and my blade went back to just my hair. I walked from out of his lair and back to main roads of Oto. I am tired, and I really just wanted to go sleep with mommy…
"Hey."
I stopped my walking and I looked up to see my father's followers: Dosu, Zaku, and Kin standing in front of me with smirks on their faces. I stared at them.
"So you came back from your mission. How about a friendly spar." Dosu suggested.
"…No thank you. I'm tired." I said simply as I was about to walk past them.
Kin was the one who stepped in my path. "It wasn't a question." she said, her smirk darken.
My eyes narrowed. "Just because my father sees you three as useless doesn't mean you take it out on me. Now, as I said before, no thank you. I'm tired." I said more irritated then I was before.
Zaku and Dosu stepped on either side of me, snickering lightly.
"Orochimaru-sama gave us some new powers, and we wanna test it out on you." Zaku said, showing off some wind implanted holes in his hand.
Something inside me made me snap, and I faced them all with a glare. "I said," I started off deadly, as I went into my hair to pull out my katana once again. "I'M TIRED!' I yelled out, opening the blade from it's sheath quickly that instantly cut Kin and made her fall to the ground as she screamed out in pain.
Zaku made the first move and tired to hit me with one of those air slice attacks, but I took my sheath and collided it right on his neck, making him fall off to the side some where. Dosu tired to punch me with something metal attached to his arm, but I jumped on the metal part of his arms and kicked him several times on his neck and head before jumping up into the air once he fell on the floor.
Kin got back up, holding her side before pulling out sebon needles with bells on them. I smirked out. She was the only one with nothing new, same old tricks, dumb woman. She threw them at me, and I harden my blade with the flick of my wrist that broke them instantly. Zaku got back up and did some hand signs, "Wind Splice Jutsu!" he yelled out.
I smirked darkly. 'So, that's what's new with him.' With one hand I did some hand signs. "Ninja Art-"
"TO SLOW!"
I was taking off guard when Dosu appeared and swung at me. I dodged, but I felt something hit my ears when I moved out the way. It was then that Zaku's jutsu hit me and I yelled out, hitting a tree at the same time.
That actually hurt, and that thing Dosu did, it was making my head spin. "Damn" I said lowly, getting myself up with a dizzy head.
"You give up?"
I looked up to see all three of them, stand around me with a smirk. They held up daggers, ready to kill me. Even though I had a throbbing head, I still smirked. "Idiots. You forgot something." I said, lifting up my sleeves. "I'M OROCHIMARU'S DAUGHTER!" I yelled out.
Three great white snakes sprang from out my sleeve and grabbed a hold of all of them and held them upside down by their legs. I took my blade and let the moon reflect it's beautiful glow off of it. "You guys got me in the mood to kill now." I snickered at their terrified face. "I'll kill you all eventually, just who should I kill off first though-"
"YOU WOULDN'T DARE! WE'RE OROCHIMARU'S STUDENTS!" Dosu yelled.
"It's not like you guys were special to daddy. You'll be easily replaced." I raised my blade to him. "You pissed me off first, so I'll just send you off to Hell"
"WAIT, NO, SERENITY-SAMA!" Dosu yelled out again.
"Oh, now you wish to respect me when your life is on the line." I smirked more, running my blade down his stomach to his chest, his shirt being cut open as well as skin being opened and cut as well. A small stream of blood running down his chest. "But since you called me sama, give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you." I stated to Dosu before looking at the other two who were watching me with fear for their own lives. "Any of you for that matter."
"B-Because, Serenity-sama, we respect you!" Zaku pleaded with a scared smile.
"You wanted to kill me 30 seconds ago" I yawned. "I'm trying to spare you 3, don't take my niceness for granted." I threaten.
"IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE SCARED, SERENITY-SAMA!" Kin yelled out.
My ears twitched and I faced her. "Oh really?" I licked my lips with a smirk.
"YES ! WE DON'T WANT TO DIE, SERENITY-SAMA! WE WERE FOOLISH TO THINK THAT WE'RE STRONGER THAN YOU ARE! PLEASE, MY LADY, DON'T KILL US!" she cried to me.
"…Well since you put it like that." I let my snakes release them and they fell on the ground. My snaked slithered back into my sleeves and I faced them. They had a look of terror on their face and I felt so much thrill in it. "Get out of my sight." I said simply.
They scurried off and I shortly sighed out again, walking back down the village and to my home.
"Serenity dear."
I looked up at my mother who was smiling down at me with one of her beautiful smiles. "You rest well?" she asked me, getting on her knees to look at me face to face.
"Yes, mommy." I yawned out. "Where's Onee-chan?" I asked.
She sight out, her silver hair being pulled up into a bun. "She's out with Kabuto. That girl. She may be 15, but damn it, she's only 15." she told me, stroking my own hair.
"You know what Serenity?" she asked me.
"What, mommy?"
"You're cute." she grinned at me. "And your so chubby. I do feed you to much, don't I?"
I frowned at her. "I'm not chubby! Don't call me that!" I yelled out.
"But you are, my little fat ass baby!" she pinched my cheeks before getting back straight on her legs. "If you do see Eternal, tell her she needs to come home so she can finish her training-"
"I'm home, woman."
We looked over to see my sister walking in, dressed in a white kimono that came to her mid thigh with a red sash. Her silver hair that was tinted with cerulean was to her waist and flowed with ever step she made beautifully. I couldn't help but to blush ever time I saw my big sister, not only that, but at how strong she is too…
My mother glared at her. "You need to stop doing what it is that your doing with Kabuto and start getting your ass ready for being clan leader!" she snapped at her. "You already have Raiki, but how can you use it to the fullest of it's ability if you don't train?!" she asked.
"I know how to use it! It's like any other sword I've used." she said before glaring at her and crossed her arms. "You're being an annoying bitch! Just let me have some fun for once!" she snapped at mom.
My mother clenched her fist and got up to punch Eternal. I saw how Eternal eyes widen, and I was taken back at how mother just…hit her. Eternal fell to her side and was looking up at mother with a glare.
"You're fucking ungrateful!" She spat at Eternal. "Using that bull shit excuse that I don't love you and I hate to see you happy, shut your fucking mouth up!"
"It's only the fucking truth-"
She kicked Eternal on her side, which made her scream out and curled up into a ball as she kicked her again. "I could never stand you! You make me sick!" she hissed at her.
Eternal got on her knees, but covered her face with her bangs. Mother soon went to the sleeve of her kimono and pulled out her fan, covering her face with it. "…You got a long way to go. I expect to see you in 5 minutes in the training room." she told her as she walked away.
I watched our mother walked away, and I looked over at Eternal. I saw her using her sharp nails to scratch the floor. She only does that when she's angry. I shortly saw something drip down from her face to the hard wood floors. I knew it was her tears.
"…I cant stand her." she said lowly.
"Onee-chan…" I said lowly.
"I cant stand her punk ass or father." she said. "I cant stand this family, this role I'm bonded to, this responsibility, all of it. I'm tired of all of it!" she said lowly.
"Eternal, what are you saying?" I asked her.
"What I'm saying," Eternal said looking up at me. "Is that I FUCKING hate all of them." she told me.
I was taken back when I saw how her eyes were the Hebi no Me form. Her moon like eyes that were now a cool gray color with slits in the middle of them made me scared.
"B-Big sister…"
"All I need is you and Kabuto. I don't care about the others." she said, getting up and headed to the training room.
I stayed where I was at before walking back to my room. She was serious when she said that. I felt nothing but hate raid from her. Hate and anger. I soon stopped my walking and an image came to me. I saw blood, lots of blood and falling bodies, and I also saw two people running away from the sight of it. I gasped out, and the image disappeared.
'What was that?'
I never seen…what…did that even mean? I looked around and saw that it was only me in the area, and I sighed out. Maybe I'm just hungry…
"But still," I said out loud, changing my direction to the kitchen. "That was scary."
Eternal's P.O.V.
"I CANT STAND HER, KABUTO!" I yelled as we walked down the Kazahana district hand in hand as I was eating some taiyaki that my grandmother gave me when we past by her store.
"But she's still your mother-"
"I DON'T CARE WHAT SHE IS TO ME! SHE LITERALLY BEAT ME TODAY IN TRAINING!" I yelled out. "Not to mention the fact she socked me in my face with no regret and told me she couldn't stand me." I said lowly.
Ever since I was born my mother always acted like she hated me. I didn't understand why, and shit, I still don't know why. All I know…is that she can die for all I care. I'm not grateful to her for shit. Serenity was the best thing she ever gave me and that's it.
Kabuto sighed out. "You have such a bad attitude. It's just like you." he told me, pulling me closer to him. I blushed lightly at his sudden closeness and we just kept walking.
"So, you prefer Orochimaru-sama?" he asked.
"I cant stand him either." I said lowly. "I never see him a lot anymore, only when he wants me to go on a mission for him…" I said to him. "He can die too for all I care."
I saw something in his eyes, but it left and he smiled at me. "If I didn't love you." he told me.
"What was that?" I asked him, pulling us to a stop.
"What was what?" he asked confusedly.
"You had a look in your eyes. I understand you're my father follower, but I'm only letting you know the truth about it." I told him, lightly pressing on him. "I love you, Kabuto." I told him.
"How cute."
We quickly looked over to see my father walking over to us dressed in his nice kimono. "Two love birds, how lovely." he told us.
"…"
"Aren't you going to great your father, my precious Eternal?" he asked me.
"…Konichiwa, dad." I bowed lightly to him before looking back into his own moon like yellow eyes. "What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I have some business to do with your mother (Get it 'Do' xD. Sorry, I really am, I just couldn't resist it!)." he said before looking over at my cheek that still had that bruise. He frown lightly. "What's that on your cheek?"
"…I had an accident and messed up during my training." I said, covering my mother up for her actions.
"And how is training?" he asked me.
"Fine." I said lowly. "I didn't know that the new sword I was giving was going to be so difficult…" I told him. "It's longer than many other long blade katanas, however I'm doing much better." I told him, lightly smiling.
I saw a smirk on his face. "My my, you're just growing up so fast." he stated. "You're basically a young woman now." he told me before looking at Kabuto. "Come with me, Kabuto. I need you after I'm done with my business." he said, walking away.
"I'll see you later, Eternal." he kissed my cheek before running to follow my father.
I stood there, pretty confused but simply brushed it off. It's just like him…he can say that he loves me, but deep down, he will always be dad's dog. Even though Kabuto and I been together since I was 12, to know that he will always be controlled by my father that will always break my heart.
I sighed about to turn and go to the river, just so I could relax and think, but I felt strange chakras. I looked over and saw two men, wearing black cloaks with red clouds imprinted on them and covered their faces with bamboo hats, standing to the side, watching me. I saw them walking away, but I followed them.
Who the fuck are they, and in my district? Heh, I'm pretty stressed so they really are asking for a fight.
"HEY!" I yelled out as we made our way to the forest, away from the village basically.
They stop their walking, and I stopped as well. "Just who are you fucks?" I asked them. "Snooping around in my districted, in my village, and you guys think I'll let you get away with it?"
The taller figure of the two turned to look at me. "We weren't there to cause any trouble if that's what you're thinking." he said, taking off the hat he was wearing, showing me a shark like feature as he grinned.
"Damn, and I thought I was ugly." I snickered lightly to myself.
He must have heard me. "You said something smart?" he asked, lightly frowning.
"If you call shit talking smart." I smirked at him, noticing the sword on his back. "…Hoshigaki Kisame of the Mist Village. S-Class road ninja and one of the legendary swords men. Killed one of the Mizukage and fled with his sword." I said.
I heard him laugh. "You know of me, I'm honored." he said.
I soon looked over to the side to shorter figure. "And you?"
He stayed quiet, but he shortly turned to face me, taking off his hate as well. Once he did, my face quickly heated up. Such a handsome man, and he looked about my age or a bit older. The wind blew and his raven hair blew with it. His face was straight emotionless, and then his eyes…his eyes were the…sharingan?
"…Uchiha Itachi of the Leaf Village. S-Class road ninja, killed his entire clan but his younger brother." I said lowly.
"You sure did your research, girl." Kisame smirked at me.
"DON'T CALL ME A FUCKING GIRL!" I yelled at him. "I'M GROWN!"
He laughed at me. "You have spirit too." He told me. "Just how do you know about us."
"The bingo book." I said simply. "I have nothing better to do when I'm not training or learning how to be an heiress." I said lowly looking at Itachi. "I'm pretty sure you know how that life is." I said to him.
Itachi watched me. "…So, you're a ninja." he stated.
"No, I'm not." I stated correctly.
"…Who are you anyways?"
"I don't know if I should give my information to a couple of strangers. Especially if they're S-Class missing ninjas." I told Itachi.
"Hn." I saw him smirk. "Bad attitude…Kazahana Eternal, next in line to be heiress of the Kazahana clan, a prodigy and also daughter to Orochimaru, am I right?"
"…" I looked over to the side. "Mother fucker." I couldn't help but to blush though since he knew who I am.
"A prodigy?" Kisame asked. "You look like a little duckling who cant defend itself without it's mother."
I twitched just then. He just insulted me in two ways, calling me a disgusting bird and saying I need my mother's protection. I shortly then glared at him.
"Want me to prove you wrong?" I asked, activating my Hebi no Me.
He went to his back and pulled out that large sword. "Would you like to be cut into ribbons?" he asked me.
I only smirked at his bold statement and went to my hair to pull out strands and eventually letting it turn into Raiki. Kisame noticed the length of it and smirked. "That's the longest katana I've seen in my life time."
"Don't take this girl lightly." Itachi stated to him.
Kisame laughed. "She's just a girl-"
I took off and struck him right on his shoulder with the sheath of the katana before placing my foot in a different position and slicing him right in the chest with the blade itself. He had blood leaking from his mouth already and he smirked.
"Your fast, however," he stated before he swung his sword. "I don't cut!"
I saw the tape around it split apart, shortly showing rough, sharp, skin looking blades and it slightly got my sleeve, but it shred it like it was on full contact. Imagine if that shit actually got my arm, I wouldn't have an arm. I jumped back and glared at him.
"You punk ass! How the hell am I gonna explain to my mother how this damn kimono got ripped?!" I snapped at him.
He chuckled. "Then allow me to…change the fight." he said, making hand signs. "Water Style: Water Shark Bomb Jutsu!"
He soon spit out water that turned into a shark. I got disgusted instantly (She doesn't really have a thing for sea creatures…or birds ._.) , but did my own hands signs. "Fire Style: Dragon's Rage Jutsu!" I soon blew out a massive wave of fire that evaporated his water shark and went over to burn him all together.
"I don't think so!"
I stopped my jutsu and turned my head, seeing Kisame about to strike me with his sword. With my own, blocked him, but he was so strong that I struggled to keep him from touching me with his blade. His smirk never dropped and he kept forcing himself down on me. I sucked in some air.
"Wind Style: Fan Kiss Jutsu!" I said before blowing him back, just enough to jump over from him all together and catch my breath. Damn, maybe I should have listen to mother about training…I was never good at controlling my stamina.
Kisame recovered from my air attack and noticed me panting. "Oh, don't tell me your tired already. We've barely started." he stated.
"I aint tired!" I yelled out using my chakra on my sword before it turned into two fans. "I'm just starting!" I charged at him.
'At least I hope I can fool him. All I need to do is at least get that sword out his hand and then I can use taijutsu on him. Just relax Eternal and use your eyes. That's why you activated them.'
"Are you really trying to use fans on me?!" Kisame yelled out and rose his arm. I smirked lightly, 'Just what I saw from these eyes.'
I used my fan and with its own sharp edges, and I slashed him harshly on the wrist he was holding his with. I saw how his hand opened up, and I used my other fan push the bottom of the sword upwards from out his hand and shortly took the fan I slashed Kisame with and flapped it, blowing it away from us.
'Perfect!' I thought before doing a sharp twist with my body and collided my foot right in his face. He budged and moaned lightly out in pain and I growled out. Fucking freak. He's big for a reason.
'Alright then.'
Adding more chakra, my fans went back into Raiki. This is my only chance, I can kill him right here. I swung the blade, about to take his head off, and I saw his eyes widened. I smirked darkly.
"NOW DIE-"
"It's time I stepped in."
My eyes widen when I saw Itachi behind me with a kunai. He brought it down, but some how I used my foot work to jump off of Kisame shoulders and up into a tree. I saw how Kisame glared at me.
"Little brat. She's actually stronger than she appear."
"If I haven't stepped in, you would have been dead and without a head for the after life."
I had to laugh at that, but I got serious. "…So, what were you guys doing in this village anyways?"
"It's classified." Itachi said, dull.
I stared at them with my eyes as it told me the truth. "…I see…" I said, putting the pieces together. "You guys were spying on father huh? Not only that, but looking at me to confirm to your leader if I'm good enough to join your little organization. This whole fight was a set up, knowing that I have a bad attitude and shortly then, your partner here fights me while you read and study the abilities that I possess."
He looked taken back and Kisame eyes widen. "What a woman…"
I saw Itachi shortly smirk. "Not only is she strong, but she also has brain and beauty."
I blushed at his statement, but of course, "Fucker!" I called him, getting up and jumping back down on the ground. "…Look. I'm not interested in your group, and my powers aren't that great. In fact, Kisame here is right. I'm actually pretty weak."
"Trying to make yourself less desirable?" Itachi asked.
"You sound like a weirdo." I told him. "Less desirable, what am I doing, selling myself?" I asked.
"You're tired of your life, aren't you?" he asked me.
I didn't even need to think about that. "Yep, I'm tired of it." I told him. "But…I'm here for only one person, and she needs me." I told them before looking over at them. "Until my baby sister no longer needs me, I have to be by her side."
I saw them stare at me, Itachi mostly watching me with his cold sharingan, but I couldn't help but to see something in his eyes before it disappeared. We were done with business here, and I shortly walked back to the village.
"That's a shame…" Itachi said.
"Itachi-san, wait up!"
I glanced back over and saw the two of them walking away. I faced back forward and sighed. "Man…that kid was really cute too." I sighed out looking up at the sky.
